1. Introduction

On behalf of the Applicant, Boston Gas Company d/b/a National Grid, LEC

Environmental Consultants, Inc. (LEC) is filing the enclosed Request for Determination

of Applicability (RDA) with the Boston Conservation Commission to decommission the

former Operations and Service Center located at National Grid’s Commercial Point

Facility located at 220 Victory Road in the Dorchester neighborhood of Boston,

Massachusetts. The project will occur, in part, within the previously developed/disturbed

100-foot Buffer Zone and 25-Waterfront Area to Coastal Beach/Coastal Bank, and/or Land Subject to Coastal Storm Flowage (Zone VE). These Wetland Resource Areas are

jurisdictional under the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act

(M.G.L. c. 131, s. 40, the Act) and implementing Regulations (310 CMR 10.00,

Regulations), and the City of Boston Wetlands Protection and Climate Adaptation

Ordinance (Chapter 7-1.4, Ordinance). Following decommissioning activities, existing

conditions (i.e., vegetation, crushed stone, and pre-existing elevations) will be restored

and the site will be stabilized.

2. General Site Conditions

National Grid’s Commercial Point Facility (Facility) is located within the southeastern

portion of Dorchester on the north side of Victory Road. The Facility is bound by Route

93 to the west, Morrissey Boulevard to the north, and the Neponset River to the east and

south (Appendix B, Figure 1). The Facility contains photovoltaic solar arrays,

operational buildings, a liquefied natural gas (LNG) tank, and associated infrastructure.

The Project Area is located within the southeast portion of the Facility, at the eastern

terminus of Victory Road, and includes the former Operations and Service Center; a

single-story modular office building, an outdoor gravel parking area, and a vehicle and

equipment storage area. The Project Area is level, contains paved, gravel, and vegetated

surfaces, and is bound by an 8-foot tall chain link security fence.

In 2019, the Operations and Service Center was relocated to another National Grid

facility. While various storage units, supplies, and vehicles were removed, miscellaneous

features remain, including, for example, the modular office building, a 10-foot wide


220 Victory Road


Page 2 of 5


2.1

2.2

Conex storage box, wooden shed, steel plates, and concrete blocks (Appendix B, Site

Photographs).

The Project Area is located, in part, within the previously developed/disturbed 100-foot

Buffer Zone and 25-foot Waterfront Area to Coastal Beach/Coastal Bank and Land

Subject to Coastal Storm Flowage (Zone VE) associated with the Neponset River.

Natural Heritage and Endangered Species Program Designation

According to the 14th edition of the Massachusetts Natural Heritage Atlas (effective

August 1, 2017) published by Natural Heritage & Endangered Species Program (NHESP)

and the MassGIS data layer, the Project Area is not located within areas of Estimated

Habitat of Rare Wildlife or Priority Habitat of Rare Species. In addition, no Certified

Vernal Pools (CVP) or Potential Vernal Pools (PVP) occur on or within the vicinity of

the Site (Appendix B, Figure 2).

Federal Emergency Management Agency Floodplain Designation

According to the Preliminary March 16, 2016 Federal Emergency Management Agency

Flood Insurance Rate Map for Suffolk County, Massachusetts (Community Panel

25025C0091J), no portion of the Project Area is contained within a Special Flood Hazard

Areas Subject to Inundation by the 1% Annual Chance Flood Zone AE, base flood areas

determined (NAVD 88’, EL 13’) –Area subject to flooding by the 1% annual chance

flood. The Project Area is located within Coastal High Hazard Area Zone VE, base flood

determined (NAVD ’88, EL 14’) - Areas along coasts subject to inundation by the 1-

percent-annual chance flood event with additional hazards due to storm-induced velocity

wave action. The remaining portion of the Project Area located above elevation 14’ is

located within Zone X-Areas determined to be outside the 0.2% annual chance flood.

(Appendix B, Figure 3).

3. Proposed Conditions

National Grid proposes to decommission the Operations and Service Center Facility by

removing all structures, storage units, and miscellaneous features (e.g., remnant fence

posts), disconnecting utilities, and conducting a general surficial clean-up of debris from

within the Project Area.


220 Victory Road


Page 3 of 5


Building Demolition and Removal of Storage Units

The modular office building will be dismantled in place and removed. Since the building

is elevated on concrete cinder blocks sitting on the ground surface, no excavations of

footings or foundations will be required and ground disturbing activities will thus be

minimized. It is anticipated that demolition and removal of the modular office building

will take roughly four (4) days. Following removal, dense-grade gravel will be placed

within the footprint of the building in order to provide a stable and uniform ground cover

consistent with the adjacent gravel parking area. The staging area for demolition

activities includes the existing gravel parking area. Any disturbed areas within the gravel

parking area resulting from tracked construction vehicles will be restored to existing

conditions.

A hazardous material building assessment was conducted by Tighe & Bond in March

2020 for the modular office building. Sampled materials (e.g., shingle, caulking,

insulation, wallboard, flooring, tile, adhesive) were negative for asbestos and as such, no

special management will be required. Universal waste items, such as mercury containing

light bulbs, batteries, light fixtures, fire extinguisher, heat/air conditioning units, etc. will

be removed by hand prior to demo activities.

The existing wooden sheds will be dismantled and removed. In addition, the metal

Conex box will be removed.

Utility Disconnection

Utilities, including water, sewer, gas, electric, and telecommunications, have been or will

be disconnected. The water service was terminated within the LNG Facility but the

terminus of the existing water line at the office building will be cut and capped flush to

grade. The sewer service will be terminated and capped at the existing belowground

sewer ejection pump housed within a 4’x4’x3’ wooden box located at the northwest

corner of the building. The wooden box will be removed and following the sewer cap,

the area will be filled with crushed stone to grade. Gas service will be terminated west of

the building within the LNG facility and will include a temporary excavation to access

and terminate the service. Excavated material will be replaced and surface stabilized

with asphalt to restore ground conditions. Overhead electric lines will be terminated on

the west side of the building and existing PVC surficial conduits extending from the

office building to the storage yard will be removed. Finally, telecommunication lines,


220 Victory Road


Page 4 of 5


located within belowground conduits and overhead attached to utility poles, will be

terminated. Access to belowground fibers will be made from existing manholes such that

no ground disturbing activities will be required.

Miscellaneous

Miscellaneous items will be removed from the site. Dilapidated chain link fence

segments and posts located within a vegetated area will be removed. As needed, holes

resulting from removal of fence posts will be leveled and area seeded. Concrete blocks

and other items will be removed. Finally, the area will be hand-cleaned of surficial

debris.

The southeast corner of the modular office building is located within the 100-foot Buffer

Zone while the staging area is located, in part, within the previously developed/disturbed

100-foot Buffer Zone, 25-foot Waterfront Area, and Land Subject to Coastal Storm

Flowage. Once activities are complete, pre-existing conditions (i.e., vegetation,

pavement, gravel, elevation and grades, etc.) will be restored and the site will be

stabilized. Following seeding of disturbed areas, straw mulch will be applied to conserve

moisture and minimize erosion.

Construction is targeted to start this August following procurement of all permits.

4. Mitigation Measures

The Applicant intends to implement erosion controls during construction activities, in

accordance with National Grid’s Environmental Guidance Document (EG303), to

mitigate for any potential impacts to Wetland Resource Areas during construction.

National Grid’s EG303 provides specifications on environmental procedures and best

management practices (BMPs) to be followed by National Grid personnel, consultants,

and contractors. A description of these mitigating measures is provided below.

4.1 Erosion and Sedimentation Control

The Applicant proposes to implement an erosion control program to protect the adjacent

Neponset River from sedimentation during construction activities. The plan for the

control of potential impacts to the adjacent Wetland Resource Area will be comprised of

erosion control barriers (e.g., silt soxx located on the eastern perimeter of the gravel


220 Victory Road


Page 5 of 5


parking area, Appendix D) and best management practices (e.g., site housekeeping).

Construction material storage and construction vehicles/activity will be confined to

within paved or gravel areas. All erosion control barriers will remain in place until

disturbed areas are stabilized by vegetation, gravel, and/or pavement. Finally, if required,

vehicle refueling will be located beyond the 100-foot Buffer Zone. As a result of these

construction level BMPs, the Neponset River and associated Coastal Beach/Coastal Bank

will be protected.

5. Summary

On behalf of the Applicant, Boston Gas Company d/b/a National Grid, LEC

Environmental Consultants, Inc. is filing this Request for Determination of Applicability

with the Boston Conservation Commission to decommission the former Operations and

Service Center at the Commercial Point Facility in Boston, Massachusetts. The project

will occur, in part, within the previously developed/disturbed 100-foot Buffer Zone and

25-foot Waterfront Area to Coastal Beach/Coastal Bank, and Land Subject to Coastal

Storm Flowage (Zone VE) associated with the Neponset River. In an effort to mitigate

for the proposed construction related activities, erosion control measures and best

management practices will be followed to protect adjacent Wetland Resource Areas.

The Applicant respectfully requests that the Commission issue a negative Determination

of Applicability allowing the work to proceed as described.
